I managed to level and square my tracks this weekend and finally
welded both track halves together, this monster is heavy! Approx. 680
pounds so far.

My tracks aren't as true as I hoped, the used metal deviates by 1/8 in
a wave pattern along its entire length. I thinking about buying two 20
foot sections of 3" x 3" x 1/4" angle iron and laying them on top of
my existing tracks, shimming them true and tack welding those down to
straighten my track out. I also shortened a mobile home axle to fit my
monster, I'll try to have it hung next weekend.

My motor gets delivered this Friday and I'll start looking around for
some 4" square tubing for my band saw head columns.

I'll post a few pictures latter of my progress and motor, once again
its going to be a slow project as money will limit my progress. I plan
on building the band saw head over the winter in my shop (if I can get
the motor in there).

Happy Trails!
